ADELAIDE’S ONLINE DAI LY NEWS PAP ER Tuesday 18th August 2009 NEWS IN BRIEF Less snow, more fire Climate change will have a huge effect on Australia’s alpine snowfields and ski resorts, a conference has been told. High-risk days for fires are likely to increase by 25 per cent, snowfields will continue to shrink and resorts could become unviable as the cost of snow-making increases, Associate professor at Griffith University’s International Centre for Ecotourism, Catherine Pickering, told the Intecol conference. Prof Pickering, an alpine ecologist, said increased temperatures and rising CO2 levels had already changed the way resorts do business. Stolen credit A 28-year-old man was charged yesterday over the largest credit card theft ever in the United States, in which more than 130 million card numbers were stolen, the Justice Department said. Albert Gonzales, of Miami, Florida, and two unnamed co-conspirators were accused of hacking into computer networks of firms supporting major American retail and financial organisations and stealing data. Beginning in October 2006, Gonzales used a sophisticated hacking technique to get around firewalls and steal information related to more than 130 million credit and debit cards, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Joe Jackson, 80, said the birthday burial at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Cemetery would be a private event, although he could not say which family members would be present. The pop star’s interment is to be held more than two months after his June 25 death from heart failure. Authorities are investigating whether prescription drugs played a role in the death of Jackson, and have focused on the role played by his personal physician Conrad Murray. Murray was present at the time Jackson died and reportedly has admitted prescribing powerful anaesthetics to his worldfamous client. Joe Jackson, who spoke to AFP in Las Vegas, said he plans to return to the city immediately after the burial service to attend a charity fundraiser in the famed Palms Casino Resort. The event, Las Vegas Celebrates The Music of Michael Jackson, is to showcase Las Vegas Strip entertainers singing hits made famous by the pop icon. Later that day, the Jackson family patriarch is to receive a celebrity star in his late son’s honour from Brenden Theatres, a cinema at the Palms frequented by Jackson and his children. - AAP
